--- Comment #8 from toddwar...@duck.com --- (Note, I didn't file a bug. I filed an RFE.) Anyway . . . I am just adding this bit to clear things up though I see this as being dismissed, but someone may find it educational someday. 1. I keep typoing. Grr. AP-style (Associated Press) is what I meant. That's the style guide that drove the 3-dots, no-spacing-between formatting, even though the other is more common. Coincidentally, APA-style (largely only used by the shrink community) also adopted that style. Regardless . . . 2. I see how you're fundamentally not understanding this now. You see an ellipsis as three dots in a row. Which it isn't. For example, at the end of a sentence your eyes may see 4 dots, but that's not what is happening. It's an ellipsis and a period. An ellipsis is treated as a word. An unbreakable, single-character word. Grammar and spell checkers and word counters see it as a word. A word that has a meaning: an ellipsis. As I said, I was just hoping there was a better workaround than changing up the auto-correct to dish out a .[NBSP].[NBSP]. but perhaps I was hoping for too much. Maybe the Unicode community will solve this for us. Have a great weekend, folks. -t -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
